Kat later found Alfie at the Queen Vic and confronted him about not telling her: "When were you going to tell me? When all your hair is falling out?" Kat told Alfie that she would be there for him.
Alfie admitted that he'd been thinking about what Lola went through. He explained that he wasn't as tough as Lola and didn't want to put his kids through that pain. Kat told him that he would get through it, with Phil and Kat then taking a reluctant Alfie to his appointment.
